GEN. NICHOLS DEMOCRACY.

From tia Onacl'ita Telegraph:
More than two months ago yer,
respectful question WAS very cour
teously propounded to Gen. Fran
els I. Nichols. in an open Ieite,
which appeared in the Shreveport
journal. That question has been
repeated time and tim, again, in
the papers throughout tLs State,
out it has. as yet. elected no reply
from Gen. Nichols, or from any one
authorized to speak for him. The
question was this: "Will You. Gen.
Nichols. support the nominee ol
the Democratic Convention for
Governor. particularly s. ID. Nc
Emery. should he receive the nomi-
na'iou. and this whether you allow
your name to be placed in nomina-
ton or Whether you do not ?"
Gen. Nichols says that the cole
object that he had in view iu be-
coming a candidate was to unity
the party and keep it together.
What objection can he have to ans
weriLg this question? It cannot be
that lac is evading an answer, and
is already me,iitating treason to the
Democratic party and the white
race. He should answer, and If be
refuses TO DO so. he cannot blame
honest men for suspecting his mo-
tives and purposes, and for plainly
publishing their conclusions.
M square Democrat will go. be-
fore u convention. or seek to secure
u nomination n: the hands If the
party. without openly avowing his
determination to abide by the re-
suit, whether favorable to him or
not. But all men are not of this
way of thinking. perhaps. Let
Gen Nichols answer for himself
Gov. McEnery's friends believe
that Con. Nichols will not answer
the question. and they construe Ger
tain articles which have appeared
in the Shreveport Times and New
Orleans Ptcayune ns plainly fore
shadowing bolt if Nichols fails to
DO nominated by the convention.
Can this be- true? We hope not.

FRIGHTENED BANK-TELLER.

An amusing incident. and one
which for time caused a careless
paying teller no little anxiety. &C.
Cured last week ut one of the New
York banks. 1t was in this wise:
Mr.. Z. John Ellis, of Louisiana.
who was on his way to his home In
Washington. stopped at we'll
known bank 10 have draft OF
$1,000 cashed. As the paying teller
refused to paw Mr. Ellis the money
until he had been properly identi-
fed, Col. Ingersoi was sent for. and
upon his arrival the money was
paid over. Mr.. Ellis, however. had
no sooner left than the paying tel
Ter discovered. to his dismay, that
instead Of $1,000 lie had paid out
$4,000. The Colonel was imme-
diately notified. and IN company
with Mr.. Dwight Townsend. war
Just about starting out to find Mr..
Ellis when tie teller rushed in aud
with face radiant with Joy. an
nounced that Mr.. Ellis had return
ed with the money, saying that he
was on his way 10 the cars and did
not learn the mistake until lac
the ticket Office. The
funny part Of the affair wss the first
thing that Mr.. Ellis said to tue tel

SOUTHERN CORN FOR WEST
ERN HOGS.


A SPECIAL telegram from Nerid-
ian, Miss. to the New Orleans Plea
yune. states that fairness of the
droa'h-stricken regions of Illinois
are proposing to transport their
hogs TO Mississippi to be iattened
on the abundant corn crop that has
beer grown in Mississippi this
year.
il il not a remarkable thing that
pork raisers Of the finest com grow
ing country Of tie United States. a.
we'll as the foremost pork produc-
ing State, should find it TO their in
terest to make pork with Southern
corn to sell to Southern consum-
ers? 1t is indeed a new thing in
the commercial history Of our coun-
try. and something that is calcu-
lated to open the eyes Of the South
ern farmers.
The argument Of the Sontherc
farmer since the late war has been
that he could buy his meat cheaper
than he could raise the corn TO
make it; yet we find the identical
man from whom this Southern far
ner has been buying bis meat year
after Year preparing to utilize
Southern corn and sell it back to
the farmer Of the Sonth in another
form. with his per cent. added.
Docs the Southern armer waut any
further proof on the point az to the
adequacy Of his farm to supply all
tie necessities OF life?
And furthermore. it should be
remembered that the soil around
Meridian is perhaps the poorest in
the State of Mississippi. AID qnite

This lesson should be a valuable
